Toxic city; philly

It is crazy to understand that Philadelphia may have the same amount of lead as Flint, MI. How Unfortunate it is that the city is not acknowledging the crisis among us. On the bright side, I know Flint is aware of their lead problems and is attempting to get clean water. In the city of Philadelphia, there are high amounts of lead poisonings, especially in low-income areas like Germantown, Kensington, strawberry mansion and the city nor the health department seem to care unless it is a large problem. The city will not intervene with lead poisoning unless the child poisoned has serious issues pertaining to the poison. In an article, I read, "Their son got lead poisoning and the city treated them like slumlords," it talks about how a family was being sued for trying to clean out a house they were going to rent to other people because the city would not help them clean the lead poisoning. The family has two kids, both had traces of lead in their system and not only that in the courtroom, but it also had high traces of lead as well. Therefore the case was thrown away because "keeping it to code" was the main reason why they were getting sued in the first place. To be honest, I believe the main reason why Philadelphia has high lead in the paint is because of how old the houses are. The houses were there since the industrial era along with several abandoned factories. The lead in the factories could've spread to other houses causes the crisis we have now.
